What is the molecular formula of this immunosuppressant? How manj' stereocenters are present in FK-506? Determine the maximum number of stereoisomers possible. Identify and label the various functional groups present. Consider the two stereocenters in this structure labeled with asterisks (*). Determine the absolute configuration of each stereocenter. FK-506 has been shown to exhibit moderate solubility in various organic solvents. Is this immunosuppressant expected to be soluble in ethanol (CH3CH2OH)? Consider the carbon atom labeled “1." Describe the geometry and approximate bond angles about this carbon atom. Draw the alternative chair conformations of the cyclohexane ring at the lower right of FK-506 and label the more stable conformation. Are there any aromatic components present in FK-506?
